One man weighing 180 pounds he had as big as a giant and one would think two or three of them had been gotten away from Harv ard or Yale. Ore gon's leading University should not be afraid of anything that can be got ten together, particularly from a Col lege like Albany. If the U. of O. boys have any Bense they must know that all the big football players of the East are "wanted more ...than in Ore gon, and that a little college like Al bany nas no money to hire foot ball players like the U. of O. which , made big offers to one or two Albany men when it was thought Albany was not to have a team. ..

' v The construction of an - addition to the beating plant building for housing tne plant at the College has been commenced. Sometime ago the College called tor bids for the work, but all the proposals were rejected and the authorities have undertaken the job by day's worn. - The Improve ment will coet $2,000 to $3,000. When the .two plants are joined, the result ant saving in labor and fuel is. esti mated at $1,000 per'year. ' Marshall Miller Is. erecting a business house ot rather pretentious size. on the Carter lots, Monroe street, between Second -and Third. Mr. Miller and several carpenters : are pushing the. work. The building is to be a one story structure, 24. feet wide and 94 feet In length, or the present the interior and exterior of the building wi l have a rough finish only, but it will answer the purpose of the business which it is said will be conducted there. John H Fuller and Herman Deck man, soldiers from Vancouver Bar racks, composed an infantry recruit ing party which arrived in Corvallis the 21st and departed the 23rd. These gentlemen, with others in various parts of the state, were out for the purpose of ascertaining the number ot suitable persons who might enlist in the army and of giving information relative to the service. Messrs Fuller and Deckman visited Hlllsboro, For est Grove, McMlnnvllle and Corvallis but found no persons who seemed de sirous ot going into the . service ot Uncle Sam as soldiers. " The time for the completion of the new school building is November 4th, and Contractor Fleming says that the structure will be ready : for occupancy by that date. The outside work Is practically finished save the paint and that is now in progress. The root and the south side have the first coat. On the inside, the . plaster is all on, and the last of the double floors Is being laid. When completed the building will, in some respects be much superior to the first. In plan ning its walls for resistance to weath er, no expense has been spared. : The outer walls consist of a thicknese each of ship lap and rustic, with building paper between. Inside of this course is the plaster. The roof Is also lined with building paper. , v Two houses to rent one six and one seven rooms, with barns. 15 sheep to let on shares. - S; H.

The OAC football men left yes terday for Portland, where this af ternoon they are to play the eleven of the Multnomah Amateur Ath letic Club. - A huge delegation from the student body was at the train to send the boys off with a .blessing, and the demonstration - .there was decidedly entertaining. - s From this end of the line it is the purpose to make of this after noon's game more of a tryout than a real test of strength. It is mani fest that Captain McMillan intends also to use the opportunity asa pract ice event to get his own men into shape ior the California trip which openS with a game with the ; Uni- j versity of California at San Fran cisco next Satusday. Of the OAC men all the first team will go,- except Captain Pil kingtori, who is to go to Eugene to witness the game between the State University and the Albany College elevens- In the squad will be Bowers, Rinehart. Williams, Nash, Root, von der Hellen, Bun dy, Abraham, Walker, 1 Spagle, Rumbaugh Cupper, Cooper, Ham ilton, and Dunlap. All of the boys are in good form except Abraham and Walker, both of whom had slight mishaps in the game last Saturday. Walker's trouble is a sprain in the thumb, but it will not prevent him v from entering the game. Abraham has a ; muscle bruise on the leg and unless it largely disappears, he will not play. Several changes of position are likely, most of which were under consideration before the game of last Saturday. Root, whose strength and whirlwind playing makes him especially desirable for that place, has been playing tackle, and has manifested an aptitude for the place that makes his continuance there very probable, With Root and Captain Pilkington hereafter tack les, the line will present a front that opponents will find it difficult either to pass or resist. In Bowers, who played tackle with such pow er. Coach McFadden insists he has found a . superior back and the former tackle is playing at full. Nash,- who always plays fast and hard- wherever he is placed is in Root's old position beside Williams at half. It is not certain that these changes will be permanentrut for the present theyseem altogether likely- - : .' ' In the game this afternoon . all the subs wilLbe given an opportun ity to gain some experience against Multnomah, and the outcome will not have definite significance as the full strength of the eleven will not be at all times in the breach. FROM OLD TO NEW. A Sale of a Block of Land out of the bis Houck. Ranch in Southern ' Benton The recording of a couple , of deeds among the real estate trans fers of this weekr calls to mind - the fact that the " country is gradually changing from large ; holdings by few persons to small holdings by many. The deeds in question are from George A. Houck and wife to George Schafer and C. Donat, and to C. Donat and R. W. Black. The transfer comprises about 800 acres of what has been known for the past thirty years as , the Houck ranch. The consideration is a lit tle less than $16,000.- The ranch is one of the best known properties in the country, was bought up ; by the : late George W; Houck from various owners during the Seventies. 'In the present transactian the first sale is made of a portion of ' the ranch, and it is understood that George A Houck has arranged to continue the sales nntil the entire ranch pas ses into new hands. .' The land has been divided up into forty acre tracts, and under the arrangement buyers can be accommodated with any amount desired, : The present buyers are from Nebraska, and they expect to im prove the lands and make homes thereon. Mr. Black is already in possession fof the portion purchased for himself as well as that of . the other buyers. George Schafer another of the buyers is to come West during early winter. Under the arrangement by which the big ranch is to be disposed of, allot tne subdivisions have been carefully surveyed and platted. The price is placed at $8 to $25 per acre, and purchasers may take as many or as few of the tracts as they may desire. The land is of good quality, suitable for fruit and ber ries has an abundance of good spring water and plenty of timber, all of which, with its other . advantages, makes it likely that numerous sales will follow those that have just taken place.

Albany to Philomath and a funeral later, was the sequel to a railroad accident that occurred at Mills city Wednes day afternoon. The victim of the accident was Fred Ellsworth, aged 23, for long years a resident of Phi lomath. - The young man was a new brakeman on the road having been in the train service but three months. While the noon train was switch ing at Mills City, ; Ellsworth stood on the tender coupling cars. He slipped and fell to the track; and the heavy locomotive passed over him. The right leg was severed at the hip, and half the left foot was cut 'off. The locomotive was at once attached to a coach, and the wounded boy was brought to Albany. The trip of 38 miles was made in 45 minutes. At Albany the best medical assistance was ren dered, but at 7:30 o'clock the same evening Ellsworth died while the surgeons were performing an oper alion. A peculiar fatality scems to fol low Benton County boys who go braking on the C & E. John Campbell's tragic fate in the collap se, of the bridge at tunnel one7 is well remembered. Young Skip ton's death was another, and this new tragedy adds a ' third to the roll of death. TO HEAR THE YELL. Chemawas Play Ball . on OAC Field This Afternoon Second Team Game.

The Chemawa braves will be here, in a game of football with the col lege seeond eleven. Originally the game was scheduled for Salem, but a letter from the managers- of ' the Indian lads brought the news that they could not afford to pay the ex penses of the college lads to Salem as had been planned, and it was re quested that the game be called off. Then manager Haward in order to get the game for the OAC second team offered to pay the expenses of the Chemawas to Corvallis, and the offer was accepted, - iThe college players are strong, and will play ball that with the well known natural nack of the Indians for football, will be sure to make the game interesting; The line up for the college boys will be right end, Walker; ' right tackle, Mossie; right ' guard, Anderson; center, Steiwer; left guard, Little; left tackle, Edgington; left end, Emily; quarter, Moores:. right half, Espey; left half, Abrams, fullback, Shannon; subs, Huff, Madden, Smithson, Damon and McMahon.
